- Tolerating dissimilar other when primed with death: neural evidence of self-control engaged by interdependent people in Japan, Yanagisawa et al. (2017). Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience. Outcome recorded: successful.
In the present study, we demonstrated that Japanese individuals who are high on interdependent SC in- deed show greater tolerance toward worldview-threatening other in the MS (vs control) condition, thus replicating the prior research.

Unlike the original study, the interaction between culture and writing condition was not significant F(1, 433) = 1.12, p = .291, ηp2 = 0.003. (I'll refer to the interaction between culture and writing condition on the Prostitution Attitude Scale as "the main replication test.") The patterns of the means were in the opposite direction from the original study.
Outcome read from OSF report.
